chkcount variable in bash reserved?

Hi,
im experiencing a really strange thing:
_____________________________
#!/bin/bash

chkcount=0
chkcountmax=3

while ((chkcount < chkcountmax))
do
echo "chkcount=$chkount"
echo "chkcountmax=$chkountmax"
((chkcount++))
done
---------------------------------------------------------------
this results in and endlessloop...

if if replace chkcount with count, it works...

is there something special about the chkcount variable?
i got an RHEL 5.2 running, maybe that is the issue?

thanks
